Types of procrastination.

A student who always believes he has more time to study for his exams and who always doesn't see the need to prepare for his class assignment is suffering from academic procrastination.

Someone who always delay in making important life decision and who always have the fear that he might make wrong decision is a decision procrastinator.

Someone who delays his official task at work leading to some miss deadlines and causing reduced productivity in the office is suffering from workplace procrastination.

Some people also suffer from lifestyle procrastination whereby they find it difficult to maintain a healthy lifestyle which includes good diet frequent exercise another things that will help develop the body.

Reasons why some procrastinate.

Personally I believe that lack of accountability is the major cause of procrastination also procrastination is associated with one's emotion, psychology and environment where the person lives.

psychology

Psychologically many people think that they cannot meet up to some standard so they tend to avoid important task in life while some who have so many doubts find it very difficult to fulfill important tasks while some people lack motivation and feel irritated over a project making it difficult for them to accept reality.

emotional Factor

Some people do not have the needed patients when it comes to long-term goals while some battle with the fear of failure, others allow anxiety to take over them they easily get depressed and quit trying instead they use the word I will

environmental Factor.

These another serious cause of procrastination.

Real life experience.

A man grew up in a family where no one feels that there is need for this man to get something doing for so many years no one encourage him to look for work rather he kept procrastinating he never saw the need or importance of working to earn, it is late 40s he got married to an industrious lady who detest procrastination so she tried so hard to encourage him but this man didn't find it easy because all his life no one encourage him to work rather they encouraged him to procrastinate.

In a nutshell our environment has a way of either encouraging us or discouraging us.

Secondly it is very important to define what you want in life set realistic goals and work consciously on achieving those set goals create deadlines and try to meet up with the deadline.

Thirdly continuous self-assessment is very important because it helps you to know if you are really working consciously do achieve the goal you said for yourself.

It is also very important to always remember that no one will question you if you do not achieve those set goals so the goals are you achievement and your Cross.

The fourth step is to try and develop a plan that will help you manage your time wisely you can use some time management techniques like to do list and calendar, is very important to always focus on more important things.

Lastly always avoid any form of distractions, never disclose your goals to people who do not set personal goals because they would likely discourage you try as much as possible best to replace goal losers with goal getters or achievers.
